Major issues......
I need your help!!
I am 4 weeks out today, and at first things were going great. At my 1 week post op appt I was eating/drinking well and down 18 lbs. Week 2 was still good for me, I was down another 10. Well now after 2 weeks on a pureed diet I can move to a regular diet as tolerated, and in 2 weeks I have lost 3lbs. I can't seem to get my liquids in, when I eat I feel like garbage, so I have no desire to eat at all, protein shakes (or powder added to anything) makes me WAY TOO full to eat for hours, and I am struggling to get in all of my vits. I walk almost everyday, and do about a mile at the very least.
I am so down I don't know what to do. Am I at a standstill because I am not eating enough? Should I go back to a full liquid diet? I just don't know what to do......I am virtually in tears because I don't know how to fix all of the "issues" I am having. I know it takes time to get into a routine to be eating/drinking enough, but does ANYONE have any advice? I sure could use it as I feel I am failing my tool!!
PLEASE !
